“Jerry was watching the market for us. He initiated at the perfect moment to lock in our rate and closed in less than 10 days. It is a huge win to know he is looking out for us.”
This was our second time using Jerry. Our experience again was excellent. Jerry was looking out and watching the market for us. He initiated and reached out in the perfect moment to lock in our rate and worked through a weekend to ensure we would benefit from the refi. If he hadn't done this, we would have not been able to get a better loan as the market shifted fast. He took care of the loan and process, and we closed in less than 10 days. It is a huge win for us to not be worrying or thinking about our mortgage and know Jerry is looking out for us and he will take care of us.

Hi, Tayler. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
“Our closing process was smooth, fast, easy, and efficient. His professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference. We highly recommend him to anyone.”
We recently had the pleasure of working with Jerry to secure financing for our first home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. His guidance on improving our credit score was invaluable, significantly enhancing our chances of purchasing our dream home.
One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Jerry was his ability to secure us money back at closing, something we never even knew was possible. This unexpected bonus was a testament to his expertise and dedication to his clients.
While many people describe the closing process as intimidating, ours was the complete opposite. Thanks to Jerry, it was smooth, fast, easy, and efficient. His professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference.
We highly recommend Jerry to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive lender. His commitment to his clients and exceptional service made our home-buying experience truly enjoyable.

I would recommend Jerry and Guaranteed Rate to anyone looking to buy a home! 5 stars!

“Jerry Dupaw and his team bent over backwards to make our deal happen. Absolute Rock stars over there and quite Frankly Jerry needs to be promoted.”
Jerry Dupaw and his team bent over backwards to make our deal happen. Found ways to Navigate Rate matching other lenders, dealing with a bad VA appraiser, renegotiating a rate lock mid process, navigating difficult sellers attorneys and a Title company system crash the day before closing causing us to have to E-Close in 2 different locations after hours. Absolute Rock stars over there and quite Frankly Jerry needs to be promoted. The guy is a wizard.

“This is my 4th mortgage through Jerry and everytime he has put out fires that others can’t. He was also able to beat multiple competitors rates. Check these guys out.”
Jerry, Robert, Kelli and the entire team at Guaranteed Rate are top notch. This is my 4th mortgage conducted through Jerry DuPaw and everytime he has put out fires that others can’t. I would consider myself exceptionally difficult to deal with at times and he has never made me feel rushed or pressured into something I’m not comfortable with. He was also able to beat multiple competitors rates. At one point another company told me they couldn’t compete with Jerry and I “Had the best rate in America.” The app is also very convenient for uploading documents. Check these guys out, they’re great.

Nevertheless - they made it very easy to do and gave me great knowledge of my oprions and you feel at ease communicating with them. I do not know a time or day I could not reach Jerry and he did not answer me in less than 5 hours. Great follow up and transparency is key to me. And I truly got that from this group!

“I used to work in the mortgage industry, so I was a bit skeptical. But Jerry really took the time to place us into the best possible program and beat out many competitors' rates!”
My husband and I went thru Jerry DuPaw & Guaranteed Rate for the purchase of our first home this July. And wow, was I impressed!! I used to work in the mortgage industry for 13 years, so I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical going thru a lender that I had never used before. But Jerry really took the time to place us into the best possible program and he beat out other many competitors rates, which we were shocked by! Also, his team at Guaranteed Rate was SUPER friendly and attentive to our questions. They honestly made the whole process super easy. I even think that the seller was impressed at how quickly we got approved & cleared to close! I almost wished that my previous career in the mortgage industry was as breezy as these guys made it feel for me!! Thank you again Jerry, we will absolutely work with you again!!!!
“Jerry was great to work with and made the whole home-buying process super easy for us as first-time buyers.”
Jerry was great to work with and made the whole home-buying process super easy for us as first-time buyers. The pre-approval process and Rate app were simple to use, and uploading documents was really straightforward. He always answered our questions about taxes, insurance, and monthly payments, and would even send us updated numbers for every house we were interested in so we knew what to expect. He also worked really well with our realtor, which made everything go smoothly and saved us a lot of stress. I’d definitely recommend Jerry to anyone looking to finance a home!
“Jerry was great to work with! He was able to get my buyer approved for a loan after other lenders told them it couldn't be done”
Jerry was great to work with! He was able to get my buyer approved for a loan after other lenders told them it couldn't be done and he presented them with a product that allowed us to make the equivalent of a cash offer helping us win a very competitive bidding war and landing my clients their dream house. He was the definition of professional and provided excellent communication to all parties throughout the transaction. Highly recommend!!
Response from Owner
Jennie, thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you and Brad. I’m especially glad we were able to use our CashReady program to make Brad’s financed offer compete like cash, which helped strengthen his position and win the home in a very competitive bidding situation. Your communication and advocacy throughout the transaction were excellent, and I truly enjoyed working with you. I look forward to helping many more buyers together!

“Jerry is truly a one-of-a-kind financial professional who can turn the impossible into reality. When I first approached Jerry, I was hesitant about my chances of securing a loan”
There are loan officers, and then there's Jerry Dupaw. Jerry is truly a one-of-a-kind financial professional who can turn the impossible into reality. When I first approached Jerry, I was hesitant about my chances of securing a loan given my less-than-ideal credit history. But Jerry, with his incredible skills, dedication, and determination, defied all odds and managed to secure a loan for me when others had turned me down.

He went above and beyond to ensure that I had all the necessary information to make informed decisions throughout the entire process. Jerry took the time to explain every step and never hesitated to answer any questions I had, regardless of how trivial they might have seemed.
Jerry's extensive network of contacts and his keen ability to negotiate with lenders allowed him to secure a loan for me with favorable terms and conditions. His persistence and creativity were truly impressive, as he explored every possible avenue to find the best solution for my situation.
Jerry's professionalism and attentiveness were unmatched, making the loan process smooth and stress-free. He was always available to address any concerns, and his constant communication and updates put me at ease, knowing that my financial future was in capable hands.
In short, Jerry Dupaw is a true miracle worker in the world of loans. If you need a loan officer who will go to great lengths to ensure your success, look no further than Jerry. His exceptional service, dedication, and results have earned him a well-deserved five-star rating.

erry is absolutely amazing! He was sooo knowledable. Not only did I get the house but closed in less than 60 days from finding the house of my choice!! Additionally he gave me great life tips along the way that was good for the home and the process. I even had ease closing electronically - how cool is that!!! I will also say Loan Coordinator Robert was great too. He was always joyful when reaching out to bother me about paperwork. Nevertheless - they made it very easy to do and gave me great knowledge of my oprions and you feel at ease communicating with them. I do not know a time or day I could not reach Jerry and he did not answer me in less than 5 hours. Great follow up and transparency is key to me. And I truly got that from this group! I am a first time home buyer and first generational home buyer because of Jerry and Guaranteed Rate!

Sheila, stepping in mid-process and getting your loan to the finish line was something I was determined to make happen for you! I'd also love to recognize Hayley Sciluffo with the Compass Kim Keefe Team Open Doors for her dedication in keeping this deal together, it truly takes a great team on all sides to save a transaction like this, and everyone showed up when it counted. Thank you for trusting me when it mattered most!

Working with Jerry for the last 2 years has been nothing but a smooth and easy experience. No matter when I reach out, he responds promptly, and he always helps walk us through any process, easy or difficult. As someone who hasn't had any knowledge of house buying, Jerry explains all information in ways we can understand. He's great!!
Response from Owner
Marissa, two years and counting, that truly means everything to me! Building long-term relationships with my clients is what I'm most proud of, and knowing you can reach out anytime and feel taken care of is exactly what I strive for. I also want to take a moment to thank you for your service to our country in the Air Force, it's an honor to serve someone who sacrifices so much for all of us. Helping our military families navigate homeownership is something I take very seriously, and you deserve every bit of support along the way. Mortgage stuff isn't always easy to navigate, so I always make it a priority to break things down in plain language until it actually makes sense. Thank you for trusting me with such a big part of your financial journey! I'm always just a call or text away whenever you need me! 🙌
“Jerry did an amazing job handling the lending process of our mortgage. Very knowledgeable, personable, and responds promptly. I would recommend him and Rate to anyone.”
